Who Is It?

Anybody know who the lucky baby is?  I'm thinking Miranda.

Happy birthday, Molly

Well, Mols, seems like you are so busy posting for everyone in your family and then they forget you on your birthday. Sorry, I have no pictures. But I hope you had an eventful and exciting day.
Love, Connie

Happy Birthday, Bridger!

We're posting a little late on this momentous day – Bridger has turned 18! Hard to imagine that our little mophead has become an adult. We hope he keeps rockin' with his guitar and enjoying his increasing maturity. Happy birthday, B!

Happy 30th Jen!

Happy birthday to one of the best older sisters a girl could ask for! I'm so happy I have an adventure buddy (skydiving, white water rafting, ziplining) and I know there will be more in our future. I'm so lucky that you're not only my sister, but my best friend. Keep kicking butt in that courtroom! I'll raise a glass to you on your special day. Love you!

Happy Birthday, Shane!

I have to admit, it took me way too long to realize Shane and Bri were birthday buddies! A happy birthday to the love of my life. You have fit into this family so well. For the next 4 days we will be the same age! I hope you had a great day (I actually know it was great, because I was there)! Love you!

Happy Birthday, Briana!

Happy 35th birthday to my favorite youngest daughter! You do so much as a great mother, entrepreneur, and all-around holistic human. We hope you have a great time on this milestone birthday.

Happy 65th Birthday, Jan!

A very happy 65th birthday to Mom! You are one of the most amazing women I have ever met and I am constantly learning from you every day. I hope you celebrated your birthday in style over in Ireland. And I am glad(?) you have mastered the art of the selfie. Love you and have a wonderful trip!

Happy 40th Anniversary!

40 years ago on this Flag Day, the most wonderful thing in the world (in my opinion) happened - my parents were married. Since then they have had many adventures (such as spending the first few months of their marriage on a look-out tower), raised 6 children, welcomed 4 new "children" into their family, and are very happy grandparenting 9 (and counting) grandchildren. They get to celebrate 4 decades together by heading to Ireland for 3 weeks with two of their closest friends. Thank you for everything you have given us and for being such a wonderful example of love. Love you both and congratulations!

Love,
Molly

Happy Birthday, Abe!

Abe turns 41 today. He and Desirée and kids are in the middle of a grand adventure in Doha, Qatar. We wish Abe and the whole family all the best!

GFCCHS softball wrapup

The Central Mustang softball program had a pretty sweet season. This our first year as a varsity program.  We are the only class C school to have a softball team that isn't co-oped with other schools.  All the teams we played during regular season were B schools so the competition was pretty tough.  The Mustang girls finished our regular season seated number 3 going into our divisional tourney.  Not too shabby!  Divisionals were held in Conrad so we were driving back and forth of course.  It rained the whole weekend.  In fact, the fields were so bad on Saturday they moved the games to Shelby.  In a slugfest to determine which team got to advance to state, Central won 27 23.  We had 3 home runs and every starter had a hit in that game.  Maddie was 4 for 5 and had one of the home runs.  It was a fun game even though the rain came about half way through.  We were seated 3rd going to State in Belgrade.
At Belgrade we played Ronan right off the bat and our girls were a bit intimidated.  We lost that game 11-1.  Not our best showing at all.  The next game we played Plains and we won that game 14-11.  Maddie had a monster home run dead center.  That was pretty awesome.  Then we faced Florence and lost that game 11-7.
The Central girls represented their school, their town and themselves with class throughout the season.  It is truly a great group of girls.  Maddie played both catcher and shortstop through the season but was shortstop in all the tournament games.  It was a fun season and we are really looking forward to next year!

A HUGE Thank You to Jimmy!

I want to thank Jimmy for putting on CD form the music that Dad/Grampa played in 1983.  It brought tears to my eyes to hear him talking and singing.  It is also uncanny how much Johnny sounds like Dad.  WOW!!  You are a special guy, Jimmy, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your efforts!  Jen got hers and really enjoyed it as she had never met Grampa.  You are the best, kiddo!!

Happy Memorial weekend

I'd like to give a shout out this weekend to all our family members that served in the military. We start with our great grandfather Perry Moore who served in the civil war, our grandfathers George Moore and Tony Poirier, our dad, John and uncles Buck and Paul who served during WWII. Then there is Bill who served during the Vietnam war and now we have Mike, Matt, and Jen Buyske serving in the navy and Ryan, Nick, and Sam serving in the guards. I hope I didn't forget anyone. Blessings to all of you at this time.

Congrats to Ryan

In today's Helena Independent Record, a supplement from the Helena Education Foundation announced this year's "Celebration of Excellence." Mr. Schulte is one of the the Distinguished Educators listed, nominated by student Anna Maronick. Congratulations to Ryan!

Maddie's prom~

Maddie's Junior year prom was last night.  She and her friends were gorgeous of course!  And they had a great time!

Another Shout Out to Joey on His Birthday!

We have to add our two cents to Joey's birthday!  He has come such a long way!!  From his first day in this world to his 34th year in this world!  He has grown in so many ways and made us so proud.  Enjoy this day, this time in your life!  We love you!!!!

Happy Birthday, Joey!

Henry decided to wake Joey up early today so he could get a good jump on his birthday. Here's to one heckuva guy - an amazing brother, son, uncle, cousin, friend and now, father. I hope you enjoy your day, Joey!

Happy Birthday, Desirée!

Her birthday has already gone by over in Qatar, but I want to send a shout-out to Dez on her big day while it's still in effect in America. She's a great mom and a wonderful person. We wish her all the best, now and forever.

Happy Birthday, Maurika!

On April Fools Day a few years back in the quaint Austrian city of Innsbruck, Maurika entered the world as a Sunday's child. It has been my blessing to wish her a wonderful birthday 42 times since then.
